Toast, a restaurant point of sale (POS) company, revealed that almost three-quarters of US restaurant industry professionals plan to upgrade their restaurant technology within the year. In fact, 43% of respondents said they plan to do so within a year, 8% said they plan to upgrade within the month and 22% said they will do so within six months.

Some 27% of US restaurant industry professionals said they don’t want to upgrade their restaurant technology.

Restaurants may be slow to adopt technology because of the various hurdles it comes with. May 2015 research from NCR uncovered that cost of upgrades was one of the top challenges of restaurant technology, according to almost half of US restaurant owners and managers surveyed.

Other challenges of restaurant technology included the security risks associated with technology, the time it takes to fix problems, the lack of IT expertise and the cost of maintaining the technology.
